Hi! After installing suse linux 7.0 on my G4 on a second harddisk I want give lilo.conf the alternative drive /dev/hdd to boot MacOs. After starting "lilo" the following error-massage was displayed: "/dev/hdd not yet supportet". Is there any solution for this problem without changing my Mac-Boot-Device? Thank you! N.Schaefer von...

Is this device really bootable? Please add the option "copy" to your image= section, this will copy the kernel and the needed files on the boot partition. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

:-) Kann man auch in Deutsch? Yes, it is. After installing 3 hardrives (/dev/hdd10/ = Master: Seagate with a bootable Mac HFS-partition and /dev/hdd9/ an other Mac-partition, 1. /dev/hdb/ Slave: the original Quantum 10 GB Mac HD, also bootable, but with a little defekt, 2. /dev/hda/ Slave (at the second ide-port) with one little bootable partition with suseboot and the linux-partitions /root /swap). I am booting Mac-OS on the Master. Is there any way to change the partition-names f.ex. /dev/hdd10 to /dev/hdbx without crashing the linux or Mac-system? The linux-system is booting without any trouble, but only with "yaboot" and choosing the device with the controllfield "Startvolume". The elegant way by pressing the space-key does not work, because /dev/hdd will not be accept as an Mac-bootable device. That's the problem. thank you for your answers.. N.Schaefer von... Dr. med.

The bootloader and the kernel must be on a device that can be accessed from the OpenFirmware. If you have a IDE card with no OpenFirmware ROM it can not be used as a boot device. I guess you need a driver in MacOS to access that device? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
